    Pro700 / Synchronika steaming upgrade

    Not really the case at all when you think about it.

    People buy Porsche 911’s then take it to a tuner for various performance upgrades.

    You’d hardly say there’s much wrong with the engineering of a modern 911.

    Never underestimate the hobbyists’ desire for upgrades, whether it’s a high end car or espresso machine.

    I think this was a smart move by ECM/Profitec. They have read the enthusiast market well.

      I think you have missed my meaning or maybe I presented it in a less than a clear fashion...

      Either way, we'll still have to agree to disagree...

        I have to agree Herzog.
        This isn’t a case of fixing a problem that was caused by poor design or engineering. This is a case of ECM and Profitec doing something no other manufacturer has done (as for as I know) by increasing pressure to commercial pressure.
        Back to the analogy. This is like adding a turbo to a 911. The 911 is awesome but if Porsche decides to improve it by adding a turbo I’ll have the one with the turbo thanks [emoji120]

          For the guys who have done this upgrade has your pump become a lot more noisy? my pump is more than double as noisy as what it used to be . Wondering if that is normal or if my pump is on the way out? flow and pressure seems to be normal though

            Hi bowser. I'm not sure if you've found the problem or not yet, but it's possible that it's the capacitor in the machine vibrating on the frame. Clive coffee has a guide to adjusting it. https://clivecoffee.zendesk.com/hc/e...otor-Capacitor

              Gundy,
              Thanks a million, not 100% correct but it lead me to an answer. My machine doesn't have that capacitor but i did notice with the left panel off the pump become normal. I then played around moving things and found the pump made a heap of noise if the thing that runs parallel to the tank to the Tx valve was moved. I eventually found a sweet spot which allowed the side panel to be reinstalled and the pump stay quiet.

              Pump is back to 9 Bar and sounding sweet. I was ready to buy a new pump
              appreciate your help

                I recently upgraded to the Synchronika 2018 model from a rancillio silvia to say I happy with the purchase is an understatement and the steam pressure is a big part of it.

                  The Silvia's steam quality is probably its weakest point so that's hardly surprising.

                    Does any one know if the PID in this upgrade can acquired with the ability to use the 15 amp dual boilers mode?
